Sword: Li Yunlong advised me to be civilized

Chapter 130: Long Effect! Something terrible is happening, the Guangxi Clique has planned this!

At 5:3 p.m. on May 4, the cormorants had arrived above the heavy artillery battalion's position.

Xu Zhenhua held up the telescope and looked down through the porthole. The artillery position chosen by Zhuzi was in a good location.

In the footage, the artillery battalion is located in an open area between a mountain pass, surrounded by trees piled up in all directions, apparently due to the detonating cord...

Half a company's howitzers were spitting out tongues of fire one after another, firing towards the south across a high ground.

Xu Zhenhua couldn't help but nodded secretly. The biggest flaw in the entire Hongshui River battlefield was the heavy artillery battalion. They had to be behind the 88th Division and fire towards the south bank. If the distance was too far, they would not be able to kill the Gui army, and if the distance was too close, they would be discovered by the 88th Division.

The Type 66 152mm cannon howitzer uses extended-range shells, and its maximum firing distance can reach 25 kilometers. This position can completely cover the area along the Hongshui River. The problem is that the sound of firing is too loud!

For this purpose, Xu Zhenhua specially transferred the last police reconnaissance platoon to Zhuzi. In addition to the joint escort with the artillery battalion guard platoon, he was also responsible for scouting and searching for suitable artillery positions.

The detective platoon lived up to expectations, finding a prime location. The high ground and dense forest on the south side effectively blocked the sound of artillery fire...

The cormorant circled once, and Xu Zhenhua gave a few brief instructions.

"Zhuzi, make sure to recover all the shell casings. Don't leave any behind! After dusk, Shunzi should have drawn the Gui army to the designated area. Then, I'll let them go..."

"Yes!" The pillar on the ground grew fatter and saluted solemnly towards the small dot in the sky.

...

At the same time, in the cockpit of the transport plane, the captain kept an eye on the radar.

"Report! Radar shows an unidentified aircraft spotted 80 kilometers northwest, altitude 4100, speed 230, heading 180..."

Uh? Xu Zhenhua's mouth twitched. What did you say? How could I possibly understand this?

"Damn it! Speak human language!"

"Report! This is suspected to be a civilian aircraft, and will intersect with our aircraft in 22 minutes!"

Xu Zhenhua immediately made a judgment. He thought Nanjing was anxious. There was an aviation school in the capital of Guangdong Province, but it was too far away. Currently, the main force of the Baifu Air Force was stationed in the capital of Yunnan Province, and their target was the headquarters. Therefore, the Bai army aircraft taking off from Guiyang was the fastest to reach Qianxinan for reconnaissance.

On the night of May 5, when attacking Kunmin, Xu Zhenhua originally planned to send a corps to take the opportunity to kill the flying squadron, but later gave up the idea.

Xu Zhenhua hated the Bai family, but he had nothing but admiration for the Bai family's air force. They fought bayonets in the air with Xiao Rizi, the enemy was strong and we were weak, the enemy was outnumbered, but they never retreated. Even after all the pilots died, the instructor of the aviation school flew into the sky alone to fight...

Even if they were enemies of the Red Army now, Xu Zhenhua had no intention of touching them. He knew they would all be called Xu sooner or later. Once the gold mines in Southwest Guizhou were opened, he would immediately form an air combat squadron. I wonder if these elites of the Republic of China would drool at the sight of the J-10? If the J-10 wasn't enough, then the J-11, a Su-27 imitation...

Eh? How do we get them to Pingnan? Xu Zhenhua was a little distressed. If that didn't work, he could just ask Li Yunlong to kidnap them. Yeah! He's the perfect person for that...

...

Without wasting any more time, Xu Zhenhua immediately contacted the heavy artillery battalion.

"Zhuzi, please be advised. In 20 minutes, a White Army plane will fly over you. Immediately camouflage your position. At the same time, concentrate your fire on the south bank, striking the Gui Army directly in front of our Red Army. After 10 minutes, cease bombardment and await the order to resume fire..."

Shunzi, order the South Bank to disguise themselves as the 2nd Battalion of the Central Army, halt the attack, retreat immediately, and disguise themselves on the spot..."

"Yes!"

After a while, all the teams became busy, and Xu Zhenhua was not idle either. He kept debugging the high-power signal jammer in the cabin. Communication is prohibited in this airspace!

---------------

More than 20 minutes later, a Ford tri-engine passenger plane of the White Army flew over the battlefield and instantly dropped in altitude...

At the same time, at an altitude of 6000 meters directly above the Ford airliner, cormorants were looming above the clouds.

It is difficult to catch a low-flying plane with the naked eye from high altitudes, so Xu Zhenhua could only use a walkie-talkie to let the ground report the aircraft's location in real time.

"Report! Brigade Commander, enemy planes are approaching the Hongshui River!"

Xu Zhenhua could not hide his excitement. The show was about to begin. This was the first live broadcast in the world.

"1st Battalion, fire a wave of rockets at the Central Army. Uh! 107 rockets, fire in salvo!"

"Yes!"

......

Inside the Ford's cabin, a lieutenant colonel leaned against the window and looked down. The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Sure enough, a fight had begun.

Before taking off, he was a little confused, wondering if Nanjing was making a big deal out of nothing. Now he finally understood why.

The battlefield below was filled with smoke, and the north bank was in chaos. Countless yellow troops could be seen gathering on the shore, and a large number of blue uniforms had crossed the Hongshui River and were attacking the Central Army.

However, the number of Gui troops is not large!

Suddenly, dozens of fires lit up in a row on the distant south bank, attracting the lieutenant colonel's attention. In the blink of an eye, they landed on the north bank, and the explosions at the impact points instantly connected into a piece...

The lieutenant colonel's eyes almost popped out. If he remembered correctly, there were hundreds of Central Army troops at that position just now. How could a whole battalion be wiped out by just one round of artillery fire?

"Quick! Report to the commander urgently! The Gui army is launching a massive attack on Guizhou Province. They're equipped with new artillery... Damn it, why is the radio malfunctioning? Return, return immediately. We must telegraph Nanjing immediately!"

......

40 minutes later, a plane coming from Nanning was nearly shot down by anti-aircraft guns as it approached the heavy artillery battalion. It flew back to Nanning in panic, trailing a column of smoke...

At this time, the sun was setting and it was about to get dark. Xu Zhenhua, who was high in the sky, had directed a great show but kept his fame and honor to himself!

"Captain, head southeast, full speed ahead. It's time to make the decision to launch an all-out war against the Guangxi clique!"

The fighting stretched for dozens of miles along the vast expanse of the riverbank. The two sides even engaged in a closely matched artillery exchange. The Red and Blue Marine Corps, separated by only a few kilometers, had already begun organizing their evacuation. Numerous kayaks were already inflated by the riverbank, ready to drift rapidly downstream...

On the other side, the heavy artillery battalion had all 36 howitzers removed their camouflage...

Shunzi's voice rang out from the walkie-talkie.

"Zhu Zi, the heavy artillery battalion prepares a full salvo. We must annihilate the majority of the 45th Division and help the Central Army cross the river. The brigade commander has emphasized that we must put sufficient pressure on the Gui Army and transfer the 44th Division eastward..."

"Yes!"

---------------

Many senior military officers have gathered in the highest office of Qilu in Nanjing. With just one order, they can launch an all-out attack on the Gui army.

But the order was not issued yet, and there was silence behind the desk.

Half an hour ago, an urgent message was received from the Guiyang reconnaissance plane.

The 88th Division suffered heavy losses, but still held on to the north bank of the Hongshui River. Part of the Gui army had established a beachhead, and the 88th Division was in danger.

Even though the nearest Hunan Provincial Garrison had been ordered to provide immediate support, they still couldn't figure it out, they simply couldn't figure it out.

Why would the Guangxi clique dare to go to war directly? There was no reason at all! The Guangxi army had not mobilized on a large scale, so why would they suddenly start a war when they were not in a dominant position? Was it because of that so-called new artillery?

At this moment! Someone rushed into the office!

"Captain! Something terrible has happened! The Guangxi clique must have planned this!"
